After tearing through Marko Kloos’s Terms of Enlistment at what probably amounted to record speed a few weeks back, I was definitely hungry for more good, high-quality hard military sci-fi. And it took me a little while to find it, because that sort of book...

As indicated in my post earlier today, it’s been a crazy couple of weeks for me. What with the demands my clients are making of me and the requirements of babysitting (and that is the correct term) my other team members, I’ve had precious little time...

Ever since I “unplugged from The Matrix”, as Keoni Galt would put it, I’ve generally enjoyed the fictional works of authors who share the same anti-establishment views as I do. These works, as flawed as they can sometimes be due to a lack of polish...
